I just moved from RH9 to Slackware 9. Never had any trouble with my network in RH9. Everything went smooth with the install, except my network card isn't showing up under lsmod. When installing Slack, it probed and found eepro100 (/etc/rc.netdevice).

Later when I logged in, I couldn't connect to the internet/network. When I run netconfig, no card is detected when probed.

Can someone help me from here?

Thanks



I used the bare.i kernel.. could this be a problem?

run "lspci" as root. post the output.

try "modprobe eepro100" then dmesg to see the output.
also try "modprobe e100" (alternate driver) then dmesg to see the output.
post any interesting ethernet stuff from dmesg.

bare.i has support for both of these.

not seeing much

when you installed slack9 did you do a custom setup? because i think you are missing the kernel-modules package. You can reinserted with pkgtool. Do you use any other modules?

My sound mixer doesn't work.. I'm assuming that may be another problem. I installed kernel-modules-2.4.21-i486-1.tgz with pkgtool. I'm assuming it installed, it returned me to the bash prompt.

and what happens when you do the above again after installing kern-mods?
also your mod-utils are looking for the dependencies in 2.4.18, which would not happen unless your kernel is 2.4.18. But then you installed kern-mods 2.4.21. Do the above first, and then find out the currently running kernel
with "uname -r".

Thanks xexix for all your help. I found my Slack 9.1 cd and figured I'd try and reinstall since there hadn't been any configuring of 9.0. All is well with the network and all other modules.
